AI adoption in Ireland has surged to 91%[3], nearly doubling from 49% in 2024, a significant leap that now puts Ireland ahead of many of its EU counterparts after previously trailing behind.
Drawing on insights from 300 senior leaders across the island of Ireland, the AI Economy in Ireland 2025 report produced by Trinity College Dublin in collaboration with Microsoft Ireland, provides a comprehensive view of the current rate of AI adoption. The report reveals AI’s potential to contribute at least €250 billion to Ireland’s GDP by 2035. However, this could increase by a further €60bn depending on how businesses, government, and industry leaders harness AI’s capabilities and implement policies that foster responsible innovation.
The report provides an index comparing adoption rates from our 2024 findings[5], highlighting the acceleration of AI integration, along with insights into the evolving opportunities and challenges for AI advancement in Ireland.
